Indie virtuoso Raghu Dixit and Kannada actress turned animal activist Samyukta Hornad join forces to propagate animal love with their latest bilingual collaboration, ‘Tsunami’.

Written by Neeraj Rajawat in Hindi and Raghavendra V Kamath in Kannada, ‘Tsunami’ encourages listeners to adopt animals and give them a sense of security and longing. The release of the song has been accompanied by a music video featuring Raghu and Samyukta’s pets Thunti and Gunda, respectively.

The video features over 1500 photos sourced from listeners featuring their pets which was thought of by Samyukta. Raghu adds, “We had filmmaker-friend Samuel Adams to shoot a bit of live footage at Charlie`s Animal Rescue Centre, Bengaluru. Samuel Adams edited the video too under Samyukta`s direction. The result is a video which fills up everyone`s heart with joy!”

The singer also emphasises the motive behind making this song. He says, “The song was originally planned as a tribute to my lost pet `Thunti`, a female Indian street mongrel whom I adopted from the pet rescue home `Lets Live Together` two years ago. I believe Thunti had a purpose behind her entry into my life. There is no other way to explain her presence in my life. She came at a time when I didn`t want to live any more, under acute depression and suicidal. Thunti made me realise how simple it is to be happy, taught me how to forgive, not carry baggage, how to live in the moment and nothing else really matters and all we need is endless supply of Tsunami of Love!”

‘Tsunami’ is now streaming on Radio City Freedom
